Just a few weeks spent in making housing in Jewish school tuition, I happened by chance to meet the father of one of the students. Nothing unusual there, except that he was Asian - as far as I can tell, immigrants from China - not much I can say is one of the chosen people. He was the son of a few students of Chinese background was all I noticed at school.I asked the parent, in tactful way possible, because the Jewish connection. Nobody, he said happily, but he figured it was a good school and it was good enough for him. His son, as far as I can tell, the content and accept it as a rare person of Asian students is overwhelmingly composed of Ashkenazi Jews. The school is pretty secular, but still very proud of their Jewishness and links to Israel, is cultural rather than religious Jews.
In any case, it is still an unusual choice for non-Jewish students Chinese. But Hong Kong has made my friend Helen was born to high school career at a Jewish school in Melbourne as well. She was the only Asian student there. As Chinese parents met recently, Helen's parents probably figured out that Jewish emphasis on high academic achievements bode well for their daughter.
I spent much time in schools, and came to Hindu and Sikh students in Christian schools, which I accept, because they have the best schools in a particular area.
I guess it's not surprising at all, really. Certain Asian cultures on the academic achievements of their children. So, some Asian parents motivated baby once immersed in another religion or culture a small price to pay for first-class education. In fact, they can even watch the exposure of different religious traditions as useful for education.
So, there are some shared values between Jews and Asians on the primacy of education. But if they have the same kind of education?
It happens, good job up there BigWOWO for Jewish cultural value of the humanities as a key element of education in a way that Asians do not usually. I happen to agree. The Jewish school, I noticed a button in the curriculum explicitly teach students to think critically and philosophically from a very early age. I think it's wonderful.
Asian parenting, as though different focus. Amy Chua, the Chinese parenting style (or at least a version thereof) in the titles for the book Battle Hymn of Mother Tiger, it makes quite clear on these pages is to open What are the priorities in the education of their children. Mathematics is great. Piano and / or violin necessary. Drama and sport, not so much. No other instruments, so far. In fact, I had to do a double take the first time I met a young woman of Chinese background that they had learned the piano or violin, but instead had to learn to play the djembe. You do not see many Chinese parents clamoring for their children to learn African drums. Chua ironically husband is Jewish, and raised daughters who see themselves as Jewish, but it is access to education of good Chinese.
As someone with a circle of friends and most Southeast Asians, it goes almost to say that almost everyone I hang out or a university degree or studying for it, and got high grades in school, I was uncomfortable.
But especially among Asians, I notice a lot of business-math-brain and brain and brain of IT, but few brains humanities. What is wrong, it is not difficult to see more perks with a degree in medicine or pharmacy compared to say a Masters in philosophy. But I fear that Asian culture is so obsessed with churning out kids who grow up to have the traditional professions that value, we will lose something in the way of imagination and innovation. Or even the ability to be an interesting conversation.
As stated in Article BigWOWO, and returning to the topic I started this, maybe there is something Asians can learn from the Jewish approach to education. In the U.S., there are ethnic Indians, Japanese and Jews among the top-performing groups of wealth and education, especially Jews achieved their success in a wide range of fields, from hard science into entertainment industry. To my mind, shows that people increase their diverse range of attractions within it, instead of trying to enter all the doctor.
